The old man frowned, a little sullen.
"Young people can't be too selfish. If you can save Lindong Shelter, it's a matter of great merit. The ancients often said that if you're in a high position, you must make corresponding contributions! Otherwise, you'll be punished by the heavens! "
Tang Yu didn't care. He even wanted to laugh.
If you can achieve your goal by talking, then what's the use of fists?
"I'm sorry, the heavens' wrath is in my hands. As for …"
He looked around, "I don't know how many people here have this idea. I'll just say this, the Sky Thunder can only be used in the Tree Shade. There's no way to bring it to Lindong. Sharing technology and so on … Oh, that's pure bullshit."
"The ancients also said that if the Multi-Armed Black Demon appears, I don't think our Tree Shade can even take care of ourselves. How can we care about anything else? It's the doomsday, and you still want to help the world? Why don't you fill the crack of the abyss? Only relying on your own strength to survive is the right way. You want to rely on others' contributions? Childish. "
"You, you …" The old man stood up and pointed angrily at Tang Yu.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what you've contributed during your days as a leader in Lindong."
Tang Yu's voice dragged.
The old man trembled with anger. If he hadn't awakened, he might have a heart attack. Then the others could divide the cake left by the old man.
"I, I …"
The old man wanted to say something, but he was suddenly stuck.
The others looked at the old man with strange eyes.
Because the old man really didn't contribute much!
All kinds of ideas were still stuck before the doomsday. Pedantic, stubborn, and didn't have many resources in his hands. If it weren't for the old man's high status and seniority, he wouldn't even have a place in the upper echelons.
Lu Jianjun coughed, suppressing the contradiction and gave the old man a way out.
The old man finally sat down again, but he looked at Tang Yu with unkind eyes.
The Ancestral Dragon leader Zhou Zhenglei changed the topic again, "We've sent warriors to investigate Huiyang, but we still have to prepare for the worst. Once the Multi-Armed Black Demon appears, what strategy can we take? We can consider designing a hidden trap with the energy cannon as the core, so that the cannon can attack while blocking the opponent's escape space … Currently, the Norland is adding camouflage to the cannon and trying to reduce the source power fluctuations during charging."
"It's just that this countermeasure is not necessarily useful. I hope everyone can brainstorm. Even if it's a retreat, we should prepare a few more."
Some people thought of using nuclear bombs, but putting aside the fact that the hit rate of nuclear bombs was even more depressing, no one was sure if the power of a nuclear bomb could kill the Eight-Armed Black Devil.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Weapons also rely on people to use them. Just like in the Xia Jiang Shelter, if the hunter controlling the energy cannon was stronger and had faster reflexes, he might be able to hit the Eight-Armed Black Demon …"
The cannon was manually aimed. If the eyes could follow the Eight-Armed Black Demon's movement speed and predict the opponent's landing point, with the speed of the light beam, as long as the position was found, even a transcendent couldn't avoid it.
"… So, I think it's best to break through a few levels while we still have time."
"As long as we keep improving, maybe one day, we can also have the strength of the Eight-Armed Black Demon."
There was a moment of silence.
Gu Dong was the first to agree, "Leader Tang is right. Before the doomsday, we were still very weak. But now, it's not difficult to destroy a building. It's only been a few months. I believe it's not impossible to kill the Eight-Armed Black Demon alone. At the beginning of the doomsday, many demonic beasts that were terrifying to us can be easily killed by us now."
Only a few months.
This sentence made the heavy mood of the high-ranking officials reignite their fighting spirit.
Of course, they weren't the type to drink the chicken soup in one go. But what Tang Yu and Gu Dong said made sense. Human hunters had made rapid progress. Compared to the beginning of the doomsday, they could only rely on firearms to barely fight against demonic beasts. Now hunters had become the backbone of the force. The threat of the demonic wave to large shelters was getting smaller and smaller. Everything was moving in a favorable direction.
"What level is the Eight-Armed Black Demon at? How many awakening stages? Does Elder Lu know? "
Lu Jianjun pondered for a while, "The awakening stage is divided into many levels. Among them, the first bottleneck is the breakthrough from the fifth to the sixth awakening stage. I'm sure everyone knows this."
"Yes, I've been stuck in this bottleneck for a long time." A high-ranking official said, "Some people used to call the first to fifth awakening stage as the first stage, and the second stage after the breakthrough."
Lu Jianjun continued, "At the peak of the ninth awakening stage, you will encounter the second bottleneck. At the peak of the thirteenth awakening stage, you will encounter the third bottleneck, which is much bigger than the previous two."
"Our current understanding of the awakening stage stops at the thirteenth awakening stage. We don't know any higher. After all, Lindong is far from reaching that level."
"And the Eight-Armed Black Demon, including the previous disaster-level demonic beasts, according to the North Court's judgment, have exceeded the thirteenth awakening stage."
Lu Jianjun hesitated for a moment but still said it.
The level above the thirteenth awakening stage, not to mention the current mainstream hunter level, even the top level in Lindong was far behind.
If he said it out loud, it might hurt the confidence of others. But after all, the high-ranking officials were not ordinary people. Lu Jianjun believed that these people wouldn't be so easily defeated.
He raised his head slightly and swept his gaze across several people.
He found the old man with glasses was a little scared, his glasses were crooked.
Lu Jianjun: "…"
He sighed slightly in his heart.
Lu Jianjun continued to look at the others. Gu Dong was a little dignified, digesting the information given. The other high-ranking officials frowned or pondered, which was his expected normal reaction.
And Tang Yu …
He held his cheeks with his hands, expressionless. He felt … a little bored?
Finally, a high-ranking official spoke, "So we can assume that the Eight-Armed Black Demon is at the fourteenth or fifteenth awakening stage. No, an ordinary disaster-level demonic beast might be at the fourteenth or fifteenth awakening stage. But the Eight-Armed Black Demon is even stronger, maybe reaching the sixteenth awakening stage …"
He tried to analyze and judge the situation based on the existing clues.
This high-ranking official was very wise. His words were clear and logical, and the others nodded in agreement.
Tang Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed dryly to attract attention.
"The awakening stage is only at the thirteenth stage. It's no longer called the awakening stage."
"The name is just a code. Just like we can call it the first, second, and third stage of the awakening stage. We can also call it the fifth, ninth, and thirteenth stage. It's all the same. The key lies in the strength of each stage." The high-ranking official frowned.
"Maybe the name isn't important." Tang Yu laughed, "But just like the first, second, and third stages of the awakening stage, the reason why they are divided together is because the entire stage has something in common. Every breakthrough improves the genes and brings about an improvement in the level of life."
"The awakening stage is a process of paving the way. But after the thirteenth stage, it's different. It's no longer an improvement in the level of life, but a complete leap, from a mortal to an extraordinary …"
The high-ranking official frowned, "What's above the awakening stage?"
Tang Yu paused and changed into a comfortable sitting position.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Except for the old man with glasses, everyone was listening attentively.
Lu Jianjun was no exception.
A flat voice spread throughout the conference room in the next moment.
